Distinguishing between Hydrogen Embrittlement (HE) and Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) is key to applying effective controls and avoiding failures, ensuring the integrity and safety of materials.
Corrosion affects different types of metals that are used in various industrial plants, generating failures, defects and causing leaks. Few methods currently exist to detect these types of failures before they cause damage.
Hydrogen represents the most innovative energy proposal of alternative fuels, with respect to fossils and emitters of polluting gases, greenhouse gases and with great potential as an energy vector. However, it is a difficult fuel to obtain, and its processing from an economic point of view is not economically profitable, entails exorbitant costs because it is not found in isolation in nature.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is key to guaranteeing the quality of metallic materials used in industries: industrial pressure vessel plants, petrochemical plants, power or nuclear power plants, maritime structures, metal structures, bridges and civil works.
The Testek Group provides NDT professionals, engineers and technical inspectors with a variety of consumable chemical products: WhaleSpray Crack 1, Crack 2 and Crack 3, developed and tested to maximize test reliability, covering each and every of the needs of dye penetrant inspection professionals.
Antarctica began to disappear between about 30 and 40 years ago.
Under the ice of Antarctica there is solid land, an entire continent that we can barely glimpse from scientific bases. However, what is under that white layer and how vulnerable it is to climate change is now known with greater precision.
This article aims to expose the importance of API 584 Recommended Practice (PR), in order to help owners of industrial facilities to generate, establish, monitor and maintain a program or Integrity Operations Scenario (IOW for its acronym) for each vulnerable unit and piece of equipment in your facility.
